Installation

1. Locate a mounting area that allows electrical connection of the camera (Fig. 1) to the trailer’s marker light

circuit. This location should allow the camera lens to have a clear view of the rear area. This location should

also be high enough that at least 5 inches of the camera’s antenna extend above the roof line of the trailer.

2. Prepare the trailer and camera for installation:

A. Wipe the mounting surface clean of any debris with prep cleaner of choice.

B. With the antenna base facing up, rotate the camera into a downward viewing angle (Fig. 1).

C. Remove the protective film (Fig. 2) tape on the back of the camera.

Protective film

3. Drill an approximately 1" diameter hole to access the unit ground wire and power supply and apply

silicone sealant to the hole.

4. Make sure the trailer's power is off, then connect the camera's red power wire and black ground wire to

the unit as follows (Fig. 3).

Note: If necessary, use wire strippers to expose enough of the bare wire to make a good connection.

A. Connect the camera black wire to the unit ground wire.

B. Connect the camera red wire to the marker light circuit.

5. Secure the camera to the wall with two OEM-supplied #8 pan head screws.

Note: Place camera on wall carefully, as the adhesive will make it difficult to reposition.

6. Use all weather silicone sealant and seal around the perimeter of the camera and the heads of the

panhead screws.

7. Screw the antenna clockwise to the antenna base on the camera (Fig. 3).
